Thank you for buying the

RadioShack Portable

Handheld NWR-Same

Weatheradio. It uses

Specific Area Message

Encoding (SAME) circuitry to

provide more complete

information about weather

conditions in your immediate

area, letting you avoid hearing

alerts for geographical areas

that do not interest you. There

are 10 location codes that can

be programmed for multiple

location warnings. The

warnings are indicated by

WARNING, STATEMENT, and

WATCH.

How Your Weatheradio‚ Works

HOW YOUR

WEATHERADIO

WORKS

Traditional weather radios simply

receive the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

weather broadcast (usually within a 50-

mile radius), thensound an alarm ifany

emergency code was transmitted along

with the broadcast. This means that

people outside an affected area are

often alerted even though their area is

not affected, leading some to ignore

weather warnings that apply to their

own area.

In 1994, NOAA began broadcasting

signals called FIPS (Federal

Information Processing System) codes

along with their standard weather

broadcasts. These codes identify the

type of emergency and the specific

geographic (such as a country)

information about the codes, so you

can determine if the emergency might

affect your area. Only SAME-

compatible weather radios are able to

take advantage of this technology.

Each FIPS code identifies a specific

geographic area defined by the

National Weather Service (NWS), so

Preparation

your Weatheradiosounds an alert

only when a weather emergency is

declared in that area. This helps you

more efficiently track the weather

conditions in and around your area.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

1. Pull down the latch on the battery

compartment cover and then

remove the cover.

2. Install three AA batteries (not

supplied) as indicated by the

polarity symbols (+ and –) marked

inside.Ô.

3. Replace and secure the cover.

Full battery power is indicated on the

display as j. When battery power is

weak, ²appears. Further operations

are not allowed until you replace the

batteries. Ô

ÔNOTE Ô

•

Be sure to turn off th

power first and then

replace the batteries

in less than 1 minute

as to keep the set

clock time. If it takes

time may be reset.

ÔBATTERY NOTES Ô

• Dispose of old batteries

promptly and properly.

• Do not burn or bury

batteries.

• Use only fresh batteries of

the required size and

recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new

batteries, different types

of batteries (standard,

alkaline, or rechargeable),

or rechargeable batteries

of different capacities.

• If you do not plan to use

the weatheradio for a

month or more, remove

the batteries. Batteries

can leak chemicals that

can damage electronic

parts.

Preparation

USING AC POWER

Your Weatheradiocan also use 6V,

300mA AC/DC adapter with plug size H

(not supplied) for normal operation.

With AC connected, normal operation

is allowed even if there are batteries in

unit.

1. Open the rubber DC 6V jack cover.

2. Insert the AC/DC adapter’s barrel

plug into DC 6V jack. Then plug

the adapter into a standard AC

outlet.

POWER UPRESET

When powered on for the first time after

installing batteries, all LCD segments

turn on for one second. The device

starts to search for the best (strongest)

weather channel. Reset the

Weatheradioto default settings by

1. Remove the batteries and/or

disconnect AC power.

2. Hold down WX and re-insert

batteries or reconnect to AC

power. Hold down WX until USER

SETUP appears and a short beep
